HELENA, M. T., June 24.-[special to
The Miner. .]-This afternoon the corner
stone of the new St. Vincent's Academy on
South Ewing street, where the old academy
stood, was blessed. 1t had been determined
to lay the corner stone with appropriate
ceremonies at a later date; but it being
impossible to finish the foundation in time
and in consideration of the distinguished
congregation OF priests now holding the
Diocesan Synod. it was considered the
right time to dedicate the building. The ser
vices were conducted by Bishop Brondel, as.
sisted by the visitors and surrounded by the
many scholars Of the academy dressed in
white. The bishops address was excellent
and brief, and the whole ceremony very
pleasing. The building will be finished this
summer, and it is expected ready for occu-
pancy. The corner, plain slab Of granite,
has no place for curios, and the only orna-
ment is simply 1887" carried on it's face.

The WRESTLING Match.

HELENA, NJ. T, June 27.-[special to
The Miner. 1.-The Knights OF Labor hall
contained an audience OF about two hun
dred people who had assembled to see the
wrestling match between Col. ]. H. Nc.
Laughlin and Andrew Buchanan. A plat
form about twenty feet square was erected
in the rear OF the hall. The athletes ap.
peared at about 9:45. Col. I. D. McCutch-
con acted as master of ceremonies and in
troduced the wrestlers to the audience and
explained that the match would
be for three falls in five
collar aud elbow style in strict accordance
with Ed. James rules. The men appeared
in excellent condition. Buchanan being a
little smaller in build and perhaps 40
pounds lighter in weight. Jack Highland
was second for Buchanan and J. D. Germ
iwick for Mclaughlin. Conductor Loseby
was chosen time keeper, and Dune
Mcdonald referee. Time was called
at $50. The first round was unin-
teresting and resulted in fall
for Mclaughlin H. six minutes. Thesecond
lasted eight minutes, and Buchanan tried
hard, but after being thrown three times
lost the round on fourth to Mclaughlin.
The interest in the match was not very ex-
citing, as the end could be foreseen. The
third round lasted just five minutes. and
Buchanan, who came OF after the con-
test OF one minute and after, in
quick succession, he was thrown three
times by the Colonel, who received a fall
by the watch. The whole affair was rather
tame but not fair square fact. Buchanan
was not all square to his opponent, and it
might he said as complimentary to his
pluck that he endured it to the end as his
neck was covered With dozen large boils
and all their heads we're raked OF when Nc
Laughlln pulled Buchanan's jacket over
his read. McLaughlin declined any other
unless there is money in them.

There seems to be some mystery
connected with the omission Of Mr..
Harris name in the report published
in the Wheeling Register, of the 4th
of July celebration in Martinsburg.
We cannot answer for the Register
nor the correspondent. The INDE-
PENDENT got the credit of the fullest
and best report published, and in.
that, we omitted nothing Intentional
ly. We admired Mr.. Harris remarks
and while we consider that he has
wronged us in the past, yet that was
no reason for spite-work in reporting
so grand celebration, and we gave
a synopsis of Mr.. Harris remarks,
commencing them. The Register
may be like unto Martinsburg pa
per, guilty of emitting names for
personal reasons. The INDEPENDENT
is not a spite paper, has no such gall
and 10 such editor. We do not strike
blows in that way. If man has
done us q meanness, we tell him so
to his teeth, just as we did John L.
Riley in the presence of the people.
As matter of news in public way,
we would print the name of his Sa-
tanic majesty without fear, even
though he spelled his name Riley or
Evans. There is no such little mean
ness about us, especially on the 4th
of July. Really, now, as men, mas
much as we cannot hitch teams as
editors, suppose you drop your lead
pencil and do by the INDEPENDENT
man as he has done by you-stop
him on the street and tell him to his
face what you think of him ? That
will be more manly and readers can
get news, instead of personal bosh.

Jacksonville, Eta. Times Union( Dem. }
There is no doubt now that the
more earnest and intelligent of the
Southern Protectionists are prepar-
ing to go into the Republican party;
that they will do so if they can. We
are glad to note this for two reas-
ons: First, every man ought to ident-
ify himself with the party which is
in harmony with his interest and
sympathy, and second, the Demo
cratic party should be rid of all in

THE YELLED PROPHET.

At last President Cleveland has
accepted the invitation to visit st.
Louis. His change of intention is
remarkable. He accepts, and in the
words, too, of Zelica, he might now
address Gen. Fairchild:
"Oh, curse me not" he cried, as wild he
toss'd
His desp'rate hand towards Heay'n-"tho'
| am lost,
Think not that guilt, that falsehood, made
me fall,
Mono, twas grief, twas madness did itall
Nay, doubt me not-though all thy love
hath ceased
/ kno,e IL hath--yet, yet believe, at least,
That every spark of reasons light must be
Quenched in this brain, ere | could stay
from thee"
The Mayor in babyish manner,
gets down on his hands and knees,
and thus attempts to bring a smile
to Growers face.
At this point the President asked
Mayor Francis what would be the
most attractive day of the fair week.
The Mayor replied The third day
of the month, when the Yelled
Prophet parade will occur; but if
you can't be there then I might
communicate with the Yelled Proph
ct in some way to postpone his visit
as you have postponed yours"
The Yelled Prophet of Khorasson,
is one of Tom Moore's,master pieces.
The story is well remembered, how
he wore his veil of silver and never
allowed his subjects to see his fea
lures, but made them believe his
brow was beaming light that
should ever presage victory. Seeing
the beseiged city must fall, he pois
ons all his faithful subjects, and at
last reveals to them the horrible
monstrosity that he is. Poor Cleve-
land has put his foot into it again,
and when the Yelled Prophet lifts
the veil to see the President, Grover
will see in his features the political
monstrosty of his own peculiar act
ions And he will shudder as he
sees that
Moeking fiend, whose veil, now rails d.
show'd aim, as in agony he gard,
Not the long promised light, the brow
whose beaming
Was to come forth, al conq'ring, all re-
deeming,
But features horribler than Hell e'er trace
On its own Brood;--n Demon Of the
Waste,
no church-yard Ghole, eaught lingering il
the light
Of the blest sun, e'er blasted human sigh
With lncaments SO foul, SO fierce as those
Th' Impo,tor now, in gruning mockery
shows.
